214 He’s Dead
“Hey, you can have whatever you want. It’s my treat.” Scott waved his hand generously as if he had bought the entire food cart.
The owner of the kebab stand was glad to see them. She then pointed to the menu and said to them, “What would you like to eat? You know, the foods here are fresh.”
Scott placed the plate in front of Randal after ordering a few kebabs and grilled vegetables and said, “Enjoy, it’s on me.”
He thought that Randal would leave immediately after he finished.
Scott then smirked a few times to himself. He felt sure that since Randal grew up in a wealthy family, he would of course refuse to eat from a roadside food truck.
Randal looked at the plate in front of him with several kebabs, then picked up one. “What’s this?” He asked. “Hey, don’t you know what kebabs are?” the stall owner asked, surprised.
Randal smiled and answered, “Yes, I do. Well, I do like grilled meat. I think it’s delicious.” Randal looked at Scott and then started eating the kebab on his plate.
He ate all the kebabs on his plate after a while. Then, he finished all the roasted tomatoes and mushrooms on his plate.
“What? You ate it all?” Scott asked, wide-eyed with surprise, and was taken aback by it.
“Yes, I thought it was delicious. Get me some more, please.” Randal handed Scott the empty plate and then looked at him with expectation,
Scott then realized that Randal was a big fan of barbecue. Scott then felt he shouldn’t have brought Randal here and immediately regretted it.
“Gee, can you just stop eating?”
Randal handed him a skewer of grilled lamb dipped in chili sauce and said, “You should try this, Scott. I think it’s delicious.”
Scott was about to lose his mind. He immediately said, “Oh my God, of course, I know it’s delicious! But if I could eat this, I would have finished it long ago. If I take a bite of that, I have to work out for two hours. I’m exhausted now, and I don’t think I’ll be able to work out.”
Scott felt that as a boss, Randal certainly wouldn’t understand how tough it was to be an entertainer.
Randal nodded, and then said, “Oh, you don’t have to be so harsh on yourself. I think it’s fine for you to gain a little weight. That way, your body should be very soft.”
Scott’s face flushed as soon as he heard Randal’s words. Then, he realized that the owner’s expression had also changed. He gritted his teeth and said, “Randal, f**k you.”
“Really? You’d really like to do that?”
Scott immediately rolled his eyes at him. As he pulled out his wallet, he saw several missed calls on his phone. They were all from Harriet, who had been a maid at Gabriel’s for
a long time.
Scott immediately called her back and said, “Hello, what happened?”
While watching Scott on the phone, Randal finished the last of his kebab. And he noticed that Scott looked increasingly panicked.
“Really? Did you tell Anna that? Yes, I’m on my way to the hospital right now.” After hanging up the phone, Scott dashed down the road.
When Randal stood up to run with him, he was stopped by the owner. She said, “Hey, you guys haven’t paid yet!”
The doctor said, “Oh, he’s already passed away. I’m very sorry for your loss.” The doctor had said this so many times that he was becoming numb to it. There were a lot of people at the operating room door, and it was really chaotic
When Scott arrived there, he noticed that Anna was sitting alone in the comer. Inna’s eyes were filled with tears, but she kept staring at the opereung room.
Allie and Anna were separated by her father, who was lying on a surgical troue covered in a white cloth, and her mother, who had gone insane. Alle had never imagined herself in such a predicament.
Shirley raised her head, and there were still tears in her eyes. As she shook off Allie’s arm, she appeared astonished and upset.
